Pilot Flying J Acquires Two New Pennsylvania Locations

Pilot Flying J has acquired new Pilot Travel Center locations in Duncannon and Frystown, Penn. 

The Duncannon travel center (formerly Clarks Ferry All American Travel Plaza) is located at 30 Benvenue Ave. at U.S. Highways 22 and 322. The 8,520-square-foot travel center will feature six fuel islands and seven diesel islands.

The Frystown travel center (formerly Frystown All American Plaza) is located 2210 Camp Swatara Road along Rte. 645 at Exit 10 off Interstate 78. The 12,500-square-foot travel center will feature four fuel islands, 11 diesel islands and one RV island.

Both Pilot Travel Center locations will feature DEF at the pump, high-speed fuel pumps that provide faster flow so customers can refuel quickly and a wide variety of convenience items.

Both Pennsylvania locations will include vending machines; pay phones; fax and copy services; Western Union; an ATM; lottery and Lotto tickets; an arcade; and general merchandise for professional drivers and highway travelers.

"We believe our familiar Pilot sign will be a welcome sight for interstate travelers and professional drivers. They'll want to pull off to fill up, refresh and sample some of our featured food items like Oscar Mayer hot dogs," said Ken Garber, general manager for the Duncannon location. 

Jason Kahle, general manager for the Frystown location, added: "Our premium hot beverages include gourmet specialty coffees from all over the world as well as Pilot's house coffee which was named the 'Best Coffee on the Interstate' by the readers of [a major trucking publication]. We also have a variety of fountain drinks, frozen drinks, fresh brewed tea and cappuccino."

In addition to diesel fuel, professional drivers have access to such services as DEF at the pump, a CAT scale and laundry services. The Duncannon travel center will feature five automated showers and 65 parking spaces for trucks, and the Frystown location will feature eight automated showers and 200 parking spaces. Both locations also feature driver services such as Transflo and Trip Pak, so professional drivers can get in and out of the store quickly and be on their way.
